Irving fined

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for throwing a basketball into the stands after a game. The incident occurred at the end of the Celtics’ 115-107 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Irving was mad that Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray took a 3-pointshot with the clock winding down when Denver already had put away the game. Murray, who already had scored 48 points, said he was trying to reach 50.
